Welcome to Puppy Chulos

Puppy Chulos specializes in the revival of two Terrier breeds that have become lost to the general public.With carefully planned breedings, these breeds are now finding their way back with the helpof enthusiasts who appreciate their beauty and even temperaments.

In olden days, both have been used in farms as hunters, guardians and, most importantly, vermin exterminators. Both breeds have crossed paths in their Ancestral Family Tree and have since been developed into their own breeds for specific tasks. Each breed has their ownvariations, some of which have gained separate breed recognition.Sometime between the 1980s and 1990s, the (UKC registered) American Pitbull Terrier and it's closest kin, the (AKC registered) American Staffordshire Terrier, were bred together along with other Bully breeds, essentially reviving the variations of "Bull & Terrier" type dogs often seen in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The revival was to not only fight the stereotype but to also breed back the sweeter temperament of the old type of dogs which were known as 'Nanny dogs'. These were the great family pets that were gentle around young children andall around family guardian. Current fans and breeders of the Bull & Terrier breeds have gained such popularity that UKC has worked with these breeders to develop what is now called the American Bully. The American Bully comes in four distinct varieties, namely - Pocket (small),Classic (aka Standard), Extreme and XL. The American Bully is now recognized by UKC andthe American Bully Kennel Club. There are other International Kennel Clubs as well.

With the acquisition of our Foundation bitch, RPK's Baby Girl, we are working with other ABKC and UKC breeders to properly breed well-tempered companion dogs with a more bully type.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By the same token, the Rat Terrier, having many variations, were finally being developed and recognized as an American breed. In the 1970s, a standard was written to describe what the perfect example of what the breed should look like. The different variations were divided into two types, the taller more squared type was known as Type A and the shorter longer dog was Type B. As their individual fan base grew, the Type A became known simply as the Rat Terrier and the Type B had to rebuild their fan base or be lost (which luckily was not the case). In 1999,UKC had officially recognized the Rat Terrier to have only two varieties - Standard (over 13 inches but not more than 18 inches) and the Miniature (under 13 inches but over 10 inches). They were also officially recognized by AKC in 2013. Sadly, this left out the Hairless variety which is now recognized as the American Hairless Terrier (recognized by UKC in 2004 and AKC in 2016). Luckily, the Type B had enough of a following to have what is now called the ​Teddy Roosevelt Terrier. This still left out the Toy Rat Terrier and the Giant Rat Terrier.

Just as the Toy Rat Terrier has it's following, the Giant Rat Terrier has had it's controversialhistory in question. Some came from lines that have Old Pitbull and Old Bulldog in their historyas referenced by the Rat Terrier Foundation Tree recognized by the Rat Terrier Club of America(RTCA). Other bloodlines (known as the Decker variety) include Basenji and a questionable muttin their background. The dogs from this line are wrongfully lumped in (and egregiously registered)as Standard Rat Terrier. In the mid 1990s, there were only 52 dogs left (aka Original 52) of thisparticular type that were saved and properly developed by a breeder in MIssouri. Sadly a fad wasborn and too many backyard breeders have watered down and ruined the last of the bloodlinesthat produced quality dogs that range between 40 to 50 pounds and over 18 inches in height.

At this current time, these dogs are wrongfully registered and recognized as Standard Rat Terrierby AKC and UKC. They are all disqualified from the showring because they do not conform to the Rat​Terrier standard. They do not and cannot conform to the Rat Terrier standard simply because they are not truly Rat Terriers. It is our intent, along with other breeders, to revive and save this breed we now call the Old Dominion Terrier.

The National Old Dominion Terrier Kennel Club was recently formed in Spring of 2018 and the first F1 litter wasborn on December 16, 2017.

​** PLEASE NOTE **

Where the Old Dominion Terrier is traditionally a docked breed and the American Bully is traditionally a cropped breed, we have no issues with these practices. The reasons for cropping and docking go beyond the aesthetics. It has been recorded in history that these practices help in the health and function of what the dogs were originally bred for. Our Foundation dogs came to us in the physical state that they are in and we have not had them altered in any way. Any future litters we produce will adhere to the standards and the aesthetics the dogs were bred for. This is not up for debate or discussion.

In January 2015, Dr Richard Ford delivered a lecture on titer tests at the NAVC. It was so popular, over 400 vets were lined up out the door to get in. There are vets who care about over-vaccination and the damage it can cause. These vets should be supported.

And you need to do your part too … and your part is the most important, so listen carefully …These 400 vets will only use these titer tests if you ask for it.

Don’t let this lecture go to waste. Ask your vet for a titer test in lieu of your pet’s next vaccine. If your vet doesn’t want to do a titer test, move on to a vet who is willing to go the extra mile to protect your dog from harm. A vet who cares about the over-vaccination of dogs. Your dog deserves nothing less.​
